Final Cut Studio2 not completing install

I'm trying to install the Final Cut Pro app from my FCS2 install disk onto my new MacBook Pro (2.8GHz 15“). The installer hangs at the very last part of the installation timeline when it tells me that scripts are being installed. I have to Force Quit.
The FCP app is actually there in my applications folder after the force quit, but the installation process did not complete. It seems to work but I will have to update it to read my current project files.
I'm not happy knowing that it did not complete the install process. Any thoughts?

Having the same problem.
Except my problem keeps occurring with the audio 1 disc. It says to insert disc 2 and when I do, disc2 is is just a text edit file saying to install 1 first. I put 1 back in and it stayed frozen at "About a minute left"
Anyone know how to fix this? I literally just took the computer out of the box and migrated my old hard drive. So there shouldn't be a problem. the computer is brand new!

Final Cut Pro not recognizing Magic Bullet Quick Looks

Help! Lost my hard drive on my iMac, had it replaced, reinstalled Final Cut Pro Studio 2, downloaded MB Quick Looks again to reinstall. Final Cut is not showing it in the drop down effect menu like it used to. Can someone tell me how to configure FCP to see the MB QL again?

I can't remember what I did but I have a feeling it may be the penultimate suggestion on that list:-
+If you have recently re-installed your host application or OS, there may be a corrupt installation of one or both of these.+
I recall reinstalling the FCS 3 apps soon after the original instal but can't recollect exactly why! That is probably what got mine working again.
However, if you do reinstall FCP make sure you completely uninstall it first using FCS Remover

Final cut studio not launching

I am running my final cut studio 5.1.2 on a macbook pro
2.16ghz intel core duo. 2 gb of ram.
My problem is that all of a sudden final cut does not launch. I simply
click on either the project I am working on or from the appocation folder
and does not even open up. I trashed my preference, repaired disk permission and even reinstalled. Nothing happens. I wonder if I need to do a complete
re-install, meaning wiping everthing out including dvd studio,motion,etc
and then re-install. Any suggestions. I was currently working on a HD project
when this happened.

See if any of these help:

I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook but can't open it because it is asking for my serial number which is on the disc. I've put it in with and without dashes and dots and it won't accept it. What do I do?

I had final cut express 4 already installed on my new macbook pro at the shop but I'm trying to open it up and it wants my serial number. I've typed in the number on the disc labelled 'product serial number' but it won't accept it. The number has lots of dots and dashes in it and I've tried typing these as well, but to no avail. What can I do?

You do need the dashes.
Also double check that O & 0, I & 1 are not being confused.
The serial no. pretty much follows a three numbers then three letters approach.

Font Families in Final Cut Pro not recognized

I was curious if there was a way to allow entire font families to appear in the text tool in Final Cut. Currently only the name of the family shows up and when it is seleced Final Cut seems to arbitrarily choose one of the fonts from the family to display. I have tried this with OpenType, PostScript, and TrueType fonts, and all of them have this same problem. I am also sure that the fonts are installed correctly, as they all show up without a problem in every other problem. In addition, I have tried it on multiple machines and all have the same issue. I have also tried computers with fpc4, fpc4.5, and fpc5, along with a variety of fonts.
Is this just something that final cut does not let you do? is there any way around this other than making titles in an outside program and bringing them in as jpgs or the like.
any help would be great
Thanks,
Tim

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

Final cut pro not working with Yosemite

I yesterday installed Yosemite and the previous version of Final Cut Pro does not work with it. When I try to install the latest version of Final Cut Pro from the purchased tab in the app store, I get the message: "Final Cut can't be installed on this computer because it requires at least 4 GB of memory". When I go to the storage tab in "About This Mac", it shows that I have 154.49 GB free of 319.21 GB. Can someone help? Many thanks.

It's a 2007 iMac with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I had been using Final Cut Pro without any problems right until I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm hoping that upgrading to Yosemite doesn't mean I can't continue using Final Cut Pro - that would be extremely frustrating.

Recently purchased a Macbook Pro with screen of retina of 13,3 inches. My question is, can I install the new Final Cut Pro X , is capable of withstanding the app? Or that Final Cut is convenient to install?

Generally any Mac made since 2009 can handle FCP X.
Your small screen is not ideal unless you are young and have good vision.
However, you needn't ask whether or not your computer is suitable as you can find out yourself by downloading the free 30 day trial.

In addition, to get you up to speed with FCP X, you can also watch 2 hours of free video tutorials here

Final Cut will not open up? Help

Hi all,
I have many projects on in final cut pro. I went to open it up this morning and final cut will not open. I see it trying to load and then it does not open. Can anyone please give me any ideas on what the problem might be.
Thanks,
Wildmangoose

Well, you first need to determine whether it's Final Cut that won't open, or just one project. To determine that, you can either trash the preferences or create a new user Account and log into it, then try opening Final Cut from the new Account.
If it opens, then you know FCP is OK. If you've done that with a new Account, then log in to your original Account, and take the media volume offline. I'm assuming you have all your media on a separate volume from your boot volume.
With the media volume offline, try to open that project in Final Cut. If it opens, then you have a corrupted media file, either a captured file or a rendered file.
You then then to find the corrupted file by the process of elimination. More on that later. For now, try the first step and report back.

Final Cut to NOT open on older project every time

Is there a way to have Final Cut Pro NOT open on the last project all the time. Sometimes I just want it to open fresh without taking 5 minutes (exaggeration) to open the last project I worked on. Thanks so much!

I should have seen that. Thanks. Although what I really want is an option like when you open Aperture or iTunes with the option key held down you can select what library to open instead of the default. Usually I want it to open the last project but sometimes I don't and it is a pain to have to wait for it to open all the timelines and then close them all down again. I know..... I want I want I want. Thanks!

Final cut will not shut down stays in the dock and I have to reboot

Final Cut will not shut down ..... stays in the dock and I have to physically reboot

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by stuck in Dock.
You reboot your Mac. Is FCP trying to open automatically (the icon bouncing)? Or is it just visible in the Dock?

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

HT3258 what about final cut does not recognize mts file

what about final cut does not recognize mts file

If you have an AVCHD camcorder, you need to select one of the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec Easy Setups in FCE that matches how you shot the video in your camcorder. (eg, AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 would be appropriate for camcorders produced for North America unless you selected some other video type in the camera's setup.) After selecting the appropriate Easy Setup, create a new sequence then import the video from your camcorder.
If you only have the .mts files themselves (perhaps because you copied them to your hard drive without their entire surrounding AVCHD folder structure), that's another matter. In that case you need Clipwrap or similar app to transcode the .mts files to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec before importing them into FCE. You still need to have the correct easy setup in FCE.
It would help to know exactly what make/model camcorder you have, and what model Mac and versions of OS X and QuickTime.
